Description Timo Hirvonen 2005-02-28 03:46:52 UTC

"emerge -C foo" should remove all unmodified files from config protected directories.

Currently portage leaves all old config files to /etc directory. This is serious problem when you update package and the new version installs config files to some other directory (f.e. apache-2.0.52-r2 to apache-2.0.52-r3 update). After update you have both old and new config files in /etc.

Reproducible: Always
